If you're working with videos you intend to transcode anyway though, I'd do the de-interlacing at that stage and not have to worry about it on the playback side, personally. Of course, for playing back recordings from 1080i stations, you end up having to do it while playing back. Note the wiki entry about bumping up CPU speed while using the de-interlacing. It helped my setup on a 8300 based motherboard. I'm not sure it applies to an ION, but if you have problems you might want to try it. </div>
